Berroco Linsey Yarn - 6509 Aquinnah (Discontinued) Reviews

Available in solid colors as well as gently shifting multicolor shades, Linsey is an ultra soft yarn for summer. Cool, comfortable and colored in the sun-weathered shades of summertime, this yarn is subtle yet stunning.

I love to look at this yarn, but its texture and fiber content make it difficult to decide what it's best used for. In general, cotton is a fiber that stretches and looses its shape. Linen normally has beautiful bloom on washing and becomes softer and softer the more you wash and wear it. I purchased it in a variegated color way, which I think made it even more difficult for me to figure out what I want to use it for! I think it will make beautiful accessories or even baby blankets, but I would not venture to use it for sweaters due to the fact that its fabulous drape could be prone to fabulous droop.

I'm loving working with this yarn. I'm using two different variegated yarns and the colors blend and compliment well. I look forward to wearing the sweater I'm knitting with it. It's great for a summer sweater, but Alabama winters are mild enough to wear it year round.

I love this yarn, the weight, look and drape. Sadly, one of skeins had an error in the blending of the two types of fiber - ruining the yarn for more than 3 yards. Make sure you purchase more than enough for your project.

I've used Linsey for several projects and love it. I don't find it any more 'splitty' than any other cotton/linen yarn that by nature can do some splitting. Love the color palettes specially multi-colors.
